Hello and welcome to today's meditation.

Today we are going to take a flight as a butterfly.

So sit back,

Lie down,

Get comfortable.

Find your breath.

If you're comfortable,

Close your eyes.

And in your mind's eye,

Imagine a beautiful butterfly.

And you are that beautiful butterfly.

What kind of flower are you sitting on right at the moment?

As you get ready to take off and flutter through the air,

The sky is the bluest you've ever seen it.

And as you start to fly,

You look down at the that you were just at.

The flowers are so beautiful.

The brilliant reds,

Oranges,

Purple,

Pinks,

And yellows.

And you find that those flowers are calling your name again.

So you find one,

You find a beautiful pink flower,

And you land on it.

You're embraced with the color and the aroma that comes from the flower.

You pick up a little bit of the pollen as you're sitting on that flower.

And when you take off and fly again,

That pollen spreads all throughout the meadow.

And you know you are doing your part to make the world beautiful.

As you glide,

You're feeling the freedom.

There's just a very slight wind that helps you along your way.

It keeps it so you don't have to flutter your wings quite so much.

So you can go that much farther.

You're looking down.

You may see where you live,

You may see your house.

It looks strange as you're looking at it as a butterfly.

It looks cozy.

There's a warmth to your home.

You decide to fly down and investigate just a little bit more.

As you peer in the window,

You see smiles of your family.

You see the happiness.

And it just gives you a warm feeling all over.

You look forward when you come back,

When you're going to come back to your home.

But first,

You have more adventures of the butterfly.

So you take off and you flutter around some more.

Find the tree,

Your favorite tree that you climbed as a young child.

It looks so big now.

The leaves are green.

It's very healthy.

You just take a moment and remember those memories of being in that tree.

And the beautiful blue sky beckons you to fly some more.

You fly over to where some children are playing.

And as you get closer to the ground,

One of the children spots you and very excitedly says,

Oh,

Look at that beautiful butterfly.

You grin inside and like,

Yes,

That is me.

I am beautiful.

And the children just look on.

And you just let them flap your wings just a little bit.

And they are so excited that they got to see the butterfly.

And then you become a little brave.

And you decide to land on one of the children's shoulders.

And the child giggles with glee.

The butterfly landed on me.

Your presence is so welcome.

And you decide to fly off.

And in your own way,

You wave goodbye and wish the children well.

You go and you find the meadow again,

Because those flowers,

They're your favorite.

You go and you sit.

You contemplate a little bit of what you've seen.

The flowers which are so beautiful.

They smell wonderful.

They provide home to the other butterflies,

To the bees,

And other creatures.

It's nice that you can help them with the pollination and taking care.

And you think about your home,

Your family,

The warmth and safety that you can help provide in your home.

The smiles and the laughter.

The hugs in the shoulder when there's sadness.

And somebody just needs you just to be there.

And you think of the children,

So excited to see the beauty of the butterfly.

And as you reflect on all these things,

Deep in your heart,

You know you are that beautiful soul.

It brings kindness and safety.

And you are very special.

You find ways to help the environment.

You find ways to help mankind.

You are a very important part of this world.

And you do your part to share.

And you do your part to take care of yourself.

To do what you need to do for you.

So that you have the energy,

The patience,

And the confidence to do what you do best.

And always remember,

Deep inside you are that beautiful butterfly.

And you can soar through the air and bring joy to all that you meet.

Now is time to come back into your room.

And when you're ready,

You can open your eyes and see the beauty that is all around you.

And find peace in your world.
